I have a goal of getting 24 more silver dimes in the next 4 weeks. That's 6 per week. It's going to be tough but this week went well.

Nice CWR score! I've yet to find anything significant in CWR, but I guess the more you ask the better your chances. Sweet!

Nice CWR score! I've yet to find anything significant in CWR, but I guess the more you ask the better your chances. Sweet!

My over 30 big-score cwr halves by number of silver keepers: 35, 38, 58, and 128 and two of those happened this year.

They will eventually happen for you too.

Hunted some banks and picked three dime boxes.

$7.50 loose halves: skunk
3-Brinks dime boxes: 2-rosies out of one box


I'm picking up a box of halves tomorrow plus hopefully another dime box. I've been getting several nearly solid 2015 dime boxes lately. I hope that trend ends soon.

Keep on rolling.

What do you do with the solid new boxes. Open and dump or try and exchange?

I exchange them, but that's my system for dimes anyway. I order the Brinks clear plastic and return to the various branches around town exchanging for a fresh box. I've done 6-8 boxes on a good day with this system, but I do eventually runout of unopened boxes and have to wait a week or two for a new supply.

I hit another nice box of halves. There were two silver bicentennials which brings my total to three since I started plus I got six more 40%. And then I saw this strange one that missed my edge check...it was a Statue of Liberty commemorative (my first). Anyway...it was a nice break from a 5-box skunk streak.


Here are the edges of the bicentennials


Here are all the edges including the clad commemorative.


Here is the commemorative obverse and reverse:

Did some coin roll hunting on the way to work.

$120.50 loose and cwr halves: 2-40% and they are really nice looking



I wish it had been 2 solid rolls but I'll take 2 1968's.

Brinks half boxes #111 and #112: skunks

Well...this month had some highs and lows, but it turned out to be a good month with 72 silver keepers. My monthly totals this year have been 145, 18, 8, and 72 silver keepers. I was thinking about taking a break from boxes for a while but this past month got me hooked again. So, I'm going to keep ordering for now. It seems like boxes don't produce a whole lot for me, but it keeps me in the game. I think if I only did cwr, I might find myself not hunting for long stretches and finding less overall.

Keep on rolling!
